Jun 13, 2005I've just turned a .mov file into DVD using iDVD for the first time. The actual asset encoding took about 3.5 hours for 120 minutes. is that good/bad/average. Is there a faster way?
I basically want to watch stuff on a DVD player and normal screen and not my Powerbook.
I know my DVD player will play mpegs, so could I just turn the .mov files into mpegs? I don't have QT 7 Pro unfortunately but I have d/l VLC.... What can be done?
Software :: Mac Taking Ages To Start?
Jul 9, 2010I don't know really specific details of what it is but it's a MacBook pro and only a few months old with os snow loeoard. I've been sitting here for about an hour and it's still on that screen with the apple and the swirly loading thingy which usually only lasts a few seconds. Last night I did some kind of updates from apple (not sure what they were but I don't think it was anything major) but I restarted it between then and now and it worked fine so maybe it's not that... I don't know. I also downloaded a virus check thing from the apple website last night. I ran a scan and didn't get any viruses but a few warnings and put them in the vault or whatever they call it. After I finished it it wouldn't close or even force quit so I just shut down. it took ages to shut down and I wanted to go to bed and I probably did the wrong thing but I held down the power button to hurry it up like you do on pc and it shut down (that was my last shutdown).

Safari :: It Takes AGES To Load Pages And Play Videos
Jun 8, 2012Safari takes AGES to load pages and play videos!!! It takes 40 seconds to load the page the first time Safari is open (quit and open Safari or open after Mac reboot or cold boot) and 20 seconds to reload pages afterwards. Frustrating!!!
Firefox takes about 2 seconds, Chrome takes one second and Opera is real time. Latest versions of all in Mac OS X 10.6.8.

OS X :: Genius Is Taking Ages To "send Information To Apple"?
Sep 10, 2009Since Genius Mixes we're announced yesterday, I wanted to try them. I downloaded iTunes 9, and saw that in the Genius section of the left-hand side toolbar, Mixes was not listed. So I turned Genius off and then on. I got the start-up dialogue, I was prompted for my password and I accepted the terms of service. Then it went onto the list of steps. It completed step 1 in less than a second but then it goes onto step 2 and that never ends! It gets stuck there.
PS: I've restarted my Mac and installed all the software upgrades. but still no success.
MacBook Pro :: Browsers Taking Long To Load Up
Jul 8, 2009I just noticed that my umbp is kind of slow. For example, safari used to load up less than a second. Now it takes about two to four bounces. Then, it will take 1 second to start up. On Firefox, it usually takes 5 to 6 bounces to start up as well. Could there be a lot going on through my activity monitor?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: System Taking Long To Load User Profile Login
Mar 28, 2010My Macbook has been running pretty slowly recently but only at log in. Its been taking ages to load my name at the top of if you try anything before is loaded my user profile I guess it just crashed. Also every now and again the wallpaper doesnt load up. Anyway to fix this is booted into safe-mode, verified the disk and repaired the permission. My work insists I use McAfee enterprise edition for Mac if connecting their servers so I am also protected from viruses and mal-ware. Its just got worse. And stranger still Safari still loads but thats all. Any other program will bounce a few times and then do nothing. Even mail, pages, dreamweaver, terminal, settings - everything. Safari is the only working program I have found that actually still loads. The internet connection works find and everything else. McAfee is sitting in my status bar so I am guessing that has also loaded properly.

OS X :: Icons Taking Time To Load In Stacks?
Sep 3, 2009just finished installing 10.6. I have noticed that when I click on my stacks, icons for files in the stack take a couple seconds to load. This seemed to happen for the longest amount of time the first time I pulled up the stack after the 10.6 update. Even after a few times they will occasionally take a bit to load. Does anyone know a reason for this to be happening?
View 1 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Taking Really Long Time To Load .wmv?
Nov 9, 2009why but lately all the .wmv videos I have watched have taken an extremely long time to fully load. Before the whole file would load and I would be able to seek throughout the video to any part which I liked. Now however, the video instantaneously pops up but I have to wait for it to load before I am able to seek but I can basically watch the whole video before it fully loads (as if it was streaming).
In the attached picture, the Quicktime seek bar looks like this as I open it.
I have the free version of flip4mac, quicktime and OSX 10.5.8.

OS X :: Running Very Slow / Taking Time To Load After Clicking
Aug 9, 2009Within the last few days my iMac (Mac OS X 10.5.8) has started acting up. It is running very slowly. I have over 100GB of space left. 4GB of Ram. I have been so worried that I have tried everything, including a virus scan (which I knew would be useless) and turns out I have no virus'. I have repaired the permissions on my HD. I have also rebooted it a bunch of times, did a software update. Things like my hot corners won't work. My dock doesn't pop up when I run my mouse over it. Right click is VERY SLOW. It's gotten so bad that when the screensaver on my iMac turns on the motion of the mouse doesn't do anything. I have to actually push a button on the keyboard for the screensaver to go away.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Java Based Applications Taking Long Time To Load
Mar 27, 2012For quite a while, any Java based applications on my Mac have been taking a long time to launch. When I start them, the icon just bounces on the dock for about 2 minutes and then once it stops I force quit it, start it again and it loads fine. I have the same problem with both Minecraft and Angry IP Scanner so I'm near certain that it is not application specific. All other applications load almost instantly and there is plenty of memory available (8GB installed) for them to launch. Just for reference: all of the updates available on Software Update are installed as well.

Safari :: Crashes / Hangs Frequently - YouTube Taking Long To Load
Jun 7, 2012I'm using a Macbook Pro (latest version) with basic specs as below :
Mac OS X V.10.7.4
Processor : 2.4Ghz
Intel Core i7 Memory : 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Safari Ver 5.1.7
Safari doesn't reload fast and crashes / hangs frequently. Youtube takes a long time to load and when it's up, the visuals, audio are jerky. Vimeo hardly loads up. This machine is only about a month old and it acts up sluggishly. Some other programs running are slow too.

OS X :: Safari Taking Long Time To Load Pages / Spinning Beach Ball For Several Minutes
Jan 17, 2011I am running a MacPro 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 8 GB RAM and OS 10.6.6 that is connected to an AirPort Extreme connected to a Westell DSL modem. Lately I have been experiencing strange behavior that I can not solve. When I first start up, Safari and Mail generally launch and work properly. But after a while, from 10 minutes to an hour, I get strange behavior. In Safari, pages take a long time to load- with a spinning beach ball for several minutes. Or they don't load at all. In Mail, I can't get new mail- a get a message that I'm not connected to the internet. When I go to System Preferences and check the Network, it says I am connected.
Rebooting usually solves the problem, but I am forced to reboot once an hour or so. Also, other programs show strange behavior- either failing to launch or crashing. This happens frequently with Photoshop Elements 9 and occasionally with Pages. I am also running a PowerPC Dual 2.3 GHz using OS 10.5.8 off the AirPort Extreme that runs fine and experiences none of these problems. Both machines are connected by ethernet cables to the AirPort Extreme.
OS X :: Macbook Pro Takes Ages Before EFI/rEFIt Comes On?
Jul 25, 2010I have partitioned the harddrive on my Macbook Pro, one partition for OS X and one for Ubuntu, and then i use rEFIt to choose between the two. But some time in performing this process, the time between you turn on the mac, until the EFI(or now, rEFIt) is on, takes up til 15 seconds now. Before, it was about instant.
This is a huge problem for me, but I havent found any way to fix it.
Any ideas?

MacBook :: Windows 7 Takes Ages To Boot On Unibody Macbook?
Sep 1, 2009Installing the RC of Windows 7 on my Macbook and everything works perfectly fine however it takes ages to start up. The screen will stay at a black screen with a single blinking white cursor for around a minute when trying to start up the system. This is a windows download straight from MSDN so the windows operating system is clean and nothing fishy is going on.
Anyone else have this issue and/or found a way around it?
